Julia Thistle isn't somebody you could take home to your family. Or your roommate. Or maybe she shouldn't be taken out into public period. Tossed on the streets at the tender age of 6, she spent five more years on the streets fending for herself until three generations of Wiccan women took her under their wing.
At present day, she herself has taken on the role of a Witch and she works at a retrieval company Jumping back in time to steal back potentially dangerous talismans and artifacts. Life is looking pretty great for Thistle until she comes back from a trip in the 1600s and hears that a cunning thief has slipped past a magical vault's defenses and stolen an artifact inside that could crush the world she is now learning to live in.
With nothing going for her but a little spark of magic, a lot of guts, and the disapproving eye of her exasperating boss, Mr. Smoking-Hot himself, she's got everything to lose and, if she plays it right, everything to gain.

A Legend Is Born
From orphan at fourteen to immortal royalty at nineteen, how the heck did that happen? Nineteen-year-old Lissa witnessed the brutal murder of her parents by blood-thirsty vampires at the tender age of fourteen. She would have suffered the same unpleasant fate had tall, dark, and mysterious stranger Max not intervened. Every night since Lissa, along with an elite group of fighters, trains and patrols the mostly abandoned streets around the city of Buffalo, NY. They quietly thwart the dastardly plans of rogue vampires and cursed shifters in an attempt to protect mankind. Having been told that all shifters are evil, Lissa is taken by surprise when she learns that there are good ones in the world - the Guardians. And she's bonded with one of them, an ultra-rare occurrence amongst Guardians in recent years and unheard of between a Guardian and a mortal. When a typically fatal injury threatens to end her, her bond-mate throws caution to the wind and uses his own blood to save her. The consequences could be disastrous when Lissa wakes up to find she is no longer human, and not only a shifter herself but the shifter queen. ***NOTE*** The first few chapters of this story were previously published under a different cover.Complete

Alkaria - unedited
I hear the clanking of metal loud and rigid from behind me, I feel the wind rush past as I sprint, they are still chasing me. I'll be honest I don't know what to do, quite frankly it's hard to think straight right now. I feel my body shutting down as the adrenaline is losing its punch, I can't run any faster. I'm always running, they are always chasing me. I don't even know why they chase me, I don't know what I did and like them they won't say. Do they even know? Am I just unlucky? Someone they picked at random to be the new subject of there torture? I wont let it happen. That's why I'll stay free, never fully contained. I think about the one I love, Charlie. I don't know where he is, I don't even know if he is safe. "Hey! Weapon down sarge, we don't want to kill her!" A guard's shout smacks me out of my train of thought. By this point I've gained some distance due to them having heavy armour. This stops me in my tracks though, I hear the guards slow down too. I stop, I realise, they want me alive. They aren't going to kill me, they don't want me dead. I have a gun, if I just point it at myself what are they going to do? I turn around and I look at all of the guards who have stopped in their tracks heaving in confusion. It's silent, even the wind is merely a whisper, all that can be heard is the panting of everyone on scene. They want me alive, they want me alive. I turn around, towards my chasers. I notice the guards straighten as I do so, instinctively I hold my gun to my neck, one bullet left, not enough for all of them but enough to kill me. They don't want me dead. I look to see all of them freeze in shock before one of the guards takes a step forward. I can't see their face, I can't see anyone's face but I feel like I need to know who this is. Before I can react they raise their gun and shoot. Pain explodes in my leg and I fall, all that running, for nothing. All I see now is black, I can't hear everything but I still feel conscious.

Timeless - Mark Tuan
Forgive me since this is my first shot at this kind of story. ____________________________________________________ What comes to mind when you hear the word 'Witch' or 'Warlock'? Are you imagining a horrific looking woman with pointy, crooked nose on a flying broom? Or a person with a wand, like Harry Potter, perhaps? Have you ever thought of what witches and warlocks would really look like in our modern times? Could they be as vicious as what the myths and legends tell them to be? This is a story of a woman who's been walking the earth for hundreds of years in search for something that would get rid of the spell she bestowed upon herself. This isn't your typical fairy tale. (Some smut included). ____________________________________________________________________Complete
Draconic Amnesty
Thump - a faint vibration in the earth followed a gust of wind. Four dinosaur-foot-shaped depressions appeared in the grass. Further away, past the depressions, goal posts and trees blurred as if hidden behind slightly translucent glass. Then, it wasn't so translucent. A shape solidified from thin air, slowly, condensing into a shimmering mist. The legs came first, trunks like small trees reaching up to muscular shoulders, perhaps twice his height. The body manifested, enormous, easily the length of a full-sized bus from tail tip to chest. Wings came into view, curling around the body at a distance, like a webbed exoskeleton growing in time lapse. Finally, the head appeared - horns and nostrils and teeth like daggers - connected to the chest by a long neck. It wore silver like a second skin, as if coated in polished scalemail - everything except its spines, claws and other bony protrusions. Like a broken mirror, it reflected the moon and stars. All in all, it was a nightmarish beast, one that in no way, shape or form resembled Wren...or any human for that matter. He took a step back. *** Elias, a professional thief, trains a strange girl named Wren. What will happen when he learns she's attracted to him and when he discovers she can transform into a dragon? What will happen if she ever reveals her darkest secret?Complete
Don't Worry Angel, I'm Here (Book 1) (Complete)
I put my head down again and started walking the rest of the way to math but stopped and almost fell when I ran into a wall. It was actually a guy and when I ran into him sparks shot through my body. He caught me before I fell, wrapping his arms around my waist. I looked up-and I mean up. He's at least 6'3. When I looked into the pair of the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen I got lost in them and couldn’t look away. My wolf kept saying, ‘Mate! We found our mate!’ in my head. He stared back for a few seconds before a huge smile lighted his face. Then he looked over my head at something and glared before pulling me to his chest. "Mine," he growled. ...... Maddy Stevens(Madaline) is a werewolf who has been mentally, physically, and sexually abused by her father ever since her mom died when she was six years old and continues to now when she's seventeen. He started drinking and thats when the abuse started. Since her mother's death Maddy rarely talks to anyone. When she does it's only a few words. Then she meets Justin Coleman-the future Alpha of the Dark Moon pack. Will Justin be able to protect Maddy from her father and get past the walls she has built over the years? Will Maddy trust Justin and let him in her heart? Read the book and find out. (I'm just going to warn you now that if you're planning on reading this story despite the description then be prepared for a lot of mistakes and cheesy crap. I started writing this when I had just turned 12 and the quality of it makes a pile of dog crap look like pure gold. Seriously. It WILL be rewritten eventually but until then... *nudges book toward you with nose turned up at it* Good luck.)Complete
